Installation procedure is different for H-Sphere 2.5 and up and for H-Sphere before 2.5 or non H-Sphere boxes.

Important!Add VPS service to a separate H-Sphere physical box
reserved only for VPS. We don't recommend to add other services to this box like web, mail etc.

H-Sphere 2.5 and up

Starting with H-Sphere 2.5 RC 2, a new physical VPS box is added to H-Sphere cluster within the standard procedure
of adding servers and services (first add a physical Unix
box via the cp, then add a logical vps server to it, then run the installation script).

Note: This procedure will install the following core VPS related packages on the VPS host server:

FreeVPS kernel:freevps-1.5-8

FreeVPS tools:freevps-tools-1.4-8

H-Sphere VPS:hsphere-vps-1.5-8.noarch

The packages may vary depending upon the operating system.
For a full list of VPS related packages installed on VPS box, please refer to VPS Server
per supported operating systems in H-Sphere 2.5 RC 2 Package
List.

Enter downloaded packages directory,
and install the packages for your operating system in the order they are listed in the table above,
up to the hsphere-vps-install package (including the latter).
Use the rpm -iv option for installation:

# rpm -iv PACKAGE_FILE

Run the FreeVPS kernel and tools' installation script:

# /hsphere/pkg/scripts/hsphere-vps-install/hsphere-vps-install.pl -v
